COLUMBIA, Mo. — High school football recruiting feels less important than ever before, but that doesn’t mean Missouri feels great about its summer on the recruiting trail.

Last we checked in with the Tigers’ 2026 recruiting class on June 28, Mizzou had seven verbal commitments, good for No. 83 in the nation, per 247Sports. The glib takeaway at that point was Idaho landing one spot ahead in those rankings.

Since then, the recruiting picture has improved mildly. MU is up to 10 commits and No. 74 on 247Sports’ national recruiting leaderboard — sandwiched between Memphis and Tulane.
